For the festive season, they have come up with innovative collections – Bombay Deco, Peacock and Ikat. In the Bombay Deco collection designs will take you back to the Bombay of mid-1930s, when the rise of art deco buildings was also a symbol of modernity, inspired by the West. Each jewellery piece is carefully crafted with symmetrical motifs, curvilinear forms, and sharply defined outlines in bold colours. The cylindrical stepped minaret of Eros Theatre is transformed into a statement-making choker and stunning cocktail rings. The linear motifs that adorn the sidewalls of Liberty Theatre get translated into sleek chandelier earrings and the top-view of Empress Court is reinterpreted as a pair of pretty fan earrings. The collection features rings, necklaces, earring and cuffs that range from everyday wear to statement making designs that can be worn with a glam up-do.
The Peacock Collection brings the incredibly pretty and intricately colourful peacock’s plumage and close-ups of its beautiful crowned head in each design. This Collection is a skillful combination of gold, diamonds and enamels in shades of blue, green and yellow.
The Ikat collection showcases the glory of Ikat patterns with an interplay of enamels and intricate detailing. A touch of gold granules lends a beautiful contrast to the designs.
With such a wide range of jewellery, CaratLane is surely your go-to place for all your festive and wedding needs.
